Amazon AbleStable® Review We've used both SystemWorks and Personal Firewall for the past three years and found them to be excellent products. Symantec is often accused of trying to pack too many features into their software, however, given how complex computer systems and on-line security issues can be, the more tools that can be called upon when required the better. One of the most useful aspects of this package is the seemless integration and effortless daily use of them. Sure, there's a certain amount of setting up, but Symantec help you through this process with a start-up wizard that guides you through the early stages. Their welcome wizard automatically kicks in after the software is first installed and takes you through all the major considerations of configuring Symantec’s software relating to your system and security monitoring and activity. One important factor to bear in mind when buying system maintenance and Internet firewall software is that you must continue to update the products. Operating Systems are in continuous development, and Internet security is a constantly changing sea of unknowns. Symantec makes the process of updating software a snap with their 'Live Update' technology. Click a single button and any appropriate updates are automatically downloaded and installed for you. At the end of your first year you'll be asked to subscribe to their continuing update program which costs around 10% of the original software price. It might cost a little more than the competition, but you'll be paying for a premium product with a well earned reputation. Review by AbleStable® Windows software Rate this software
